It’s My Way or the High Weigh

So I get an email the other day and it’s somebody heapin’ lots of love on my blog, which never ceases to make my day. However, it’s wasn’t my hee-larious jokes or sparkling wit that impressed my admirer.

It was that awe-inspiring list of weigh-ins over on the side of my blog.

The one I haven’t updated in forever.

The one that, frankly, I’d all but forgotten about.

Shame on me.

Anyway, it made me reacquaint myself with my own past accomplishments, and I have to tell you that the experience stirred something inside me.

I studied it more closely, marveling at what I was able to accomplish, week after week after mother-freakin’ week.

It was a pretty non-active week as I tried to heal up from a pinched nerve in my back. I’m about 87 and a half percent back to normal strength and will get back to my sweat-tastic workouts this week.

More importantly, I’m going to start giving my weight-loss tracking on this blog the attention it deserves.

You know, it's your comment that fuels me - the one about my scale being a whore, er, I mean the one about just having one good day, and then another good day, and so on down the line until you have strung a bunch of them together.Hopefully tomorrow my scale won't be quite so whoreish.

Glad that the pinched nerve is healing up. That's a pretty painful situation to be in!

Your weigh ins on the side are something that I have looked at over and over. Every week you'd post a loss and you lost weight so fast. It inspired me (and frustrated me because I couldn't seem to do the same!).

I remember really paying attention to that list of weigh ins when I first found this blog too. It's a very inspiring thing. I think you should have gone with a +24.7 to keep the continuity going though, or maybe you could look back over the weigh ins from the blog and bring it back up to date a bit that way.

About Me

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jack,
Who never quit eating ‘cept to stop and have a snack.
Then one day he was standing on his scale,
And he realized he’d really let his body go to hell.
(Obesity that is, back fat, Texas toast)
Well the first thing you know old Jack he made a vow,
He’d ratchet up the exercise and slow down on the chow.
He wanted to get his weight back to where it oughta be,
So he loaded up his stuff and he moved to Bloggery.
(Google Blogger that is, writing posts, makin’ jokes)
Well now it's time to say hello to Jack and all his sh*t
As he chronicles his adventures on his journey to get fit.
You're all invited back each day to this locality,
To have a heaping helping of health and hilarity.
(Jack Sh*t, Gettin’ Fit, that is.)
Y'all come back now, ya hear?
